  2. Root-finding algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-finding_algorithm

    [1] Solving an equation f(x) = g(x) is the same as finding the roots of the function h(x) = f(x) – g(x). Thus root-finding algorithms can be used to solve any equation of continuous functions. However, most root-finding algorithms do not guarantee that they will find all roots of a function, and if such an algorithm does not find any root ...

  3. Zero of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_of_a_function

    In mathematics, a zero (also sometimes called a root) of a real-, complex-, or generally vector-valued function, is a member of the domain of such that () vanishes at ; that is, the function attains the value of 0 at , or equivalently, is a solution to the equation () =. [1] A "zero" of a function is thus an input value that produces an output ...

  4. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    In the polynomial + the only possible rational roots would have a numerator that divides 6 and a denominator that divides 1, limiting the possibilities to ±1, ±2, ±3, and ±6. Of these, 1, 2, and –3 equate the polynomial to zero, and hence are its rational roots (in fact these are its only roots since a cubic polynomial has only three roots).

  5. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    Moreover, the hypothesis on F′ ensures that X k + 1 is at most half the size of X k when m is the midpoint of Y, so this sequence converges towards [x*, x*], where x* is the root of f in X. If F ′ ( X ) strictly contains 0, the use of extended interval division produces a union of two intervals for N ( X ) ; multiple roots are therefore ...

  6. Euler method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_method

    Consider the problem of calculating the shape of an unknown curve which starts at a given point and satisfies a given differential equation. Here, a differential equation can be thought of as a formula by which the slope of the tangent line to the curve can be computed at any point on the curve, once the position of that point has been calculated.

  7. Complex conjugate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_conjugate

    Geometric representation (Argand diagram) of and its conjugate ¯ in the complex plane.The complex conjugate is found by reflecting across the real axis.. In mathematics, the complex conjugate of a complex number is the number with an equal real part and an imaginary part equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.

  8. Chebyshev nodes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_nodes

    Chebyshev nodes of both kinds from = to =.. For a given positive integer the Chebyshev nodes of the first kind in the open interval (,) are = ⁡ (+), =, …,. These are the roots of the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind with degree .

  9. Graeffe's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeffe's_method

    In mathematics, Graeffe's method or Dandelin–Lobachesky–Graeffe method is an algorithm for finding all of the roots of a polynomial.It was developed independently by Germinal Pierre Dandelin in 1826 and Lobachevsky in 1834.
